The Calmer Girls series is back with twice the juicy family drama and so much more. Where book one explored the relationship of sisters Veronica and Sam during their teen years, following them through high school parties, crushes on boys, betrayals and more serious issues like their mother’s alcoholism, we pick up in “Calmer Secrets�� several years later with more of a general fiction, family drama feel, which I LOVED. Now Samantha is in art school. Ben Swift is out of the picture, or is he? Henry, Veronica’s child is four years old (and completely adorable) and everyone is adjusting to that new dynamic. When Samantha begins dating Callan, a bassist in a rock band, at first things seem amazing. But is she ignoring warning signs? And does he have secrets of his own? And how does Veronica tie into all of this?

Author Jennifer Kellan Perry writes a fabulous read. The pacing was terrific, with clever twists and turns I didn’t see coming and fun scenes from the 90’s! (no cell phones, lol!). I enjoyed the Canadian setting and thought this final book in the duology provided a satisfying conclusion to the character arcs. Highly recommended!
